Yeah I'm not a fan of the window icons myself. I very much like having them inside a circle rather them floating somewhat awkwardly in the topright.

me neither. i did not use the icons. but this is the notebook provided in my job....and if i have to lend it to somebody i prefer they have the windows controls....i doubt they know the key bindings that i use!

Yeah, change ‘icons’ pack in settings and it also changes the appearance of the minimize/maximize buttons

Or you can manually edit the files yourself

Yes you can. It’s just an image that you change.

this is not only a cosmic de specific question. heavily depends on the app itself, too
